Chapter 224 Yunbao helps Xuanbao [Two in one, please subscribe]

"Oh! My eldest daughter is busy with business, and my youngest is singing and filming. I have two daughters, but I'm still an empty-nester. Haha!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, after a busy day at work, Deputy Director Lin of the Personal Tax Bureau under the National Tax Service returned to his 200-square-meter apartment in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo District, carrying the wine and food he bought on the way home.

He just received a notice from his superiors today that he will be officially appointed director after the current director retires next week.

It was a great thing to be promoted. Father Lin’s first reaction was to celebrate with his family, his two precious daughters.

But when he thought about his two daughters who had their own things to do, the old father was afraid that he would disturb them, so he just bought some wine and snacks and went home to celebrate alone.

But in this way, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
Then have a drink!
After returning home, Father Lin went straight to the living room without changing his clothes or shoes, turned on the TV, and randomly found a news channel.

"'Gonjiam' has surpassed 61 ticket sales today, setting a new weekday box office record for horror films! Industry insiders predict that 'Gonjiam' is poised to become my country's first horror film to reach over million ticket sales!"

Drinking some wine, eating some food and listening to the news on TV, I felt like I had someone with me and didn't feel so lonely anymore.

"The roadshow for 'Gonjiam' has temporarily come to an end. Screenwriter Lee Chi-hsuan has not appeared yet, and his appearance has aroused the curiosity of many fans."

Hearing this, Lin's father laughed: "He's a screenwriter, not an actor, so what's there to be curious about his appearance? He doesn't dare to show his face. Maybe he's not good-looking. Maybe he's gone bald from staying up late writing scripts? Haha!"

If you have no fun, find your own fun, complain and make yourself laugh, and you will feel better.

"Ding dong~"

"Ok?"

Just as he was laughing, the doorbell suddenly rang. Father Lin put down the bottle of wine, stood up and walked to the door, then turned on the screen of the video doorbell.

Seeing the person standing outside the door, Father Lin quickly opened it.

"In the city, please come in!"

Min Zaicheng, who was standing outside the door, was a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old. When he saw Lin's father, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I came to disturb you without telling you in advance."

"What are you talking about? I welcome you to come! Come in, come in!"

Then, Lin's father enthusiastically pulled Min Zaicheng into the house.

"Wow! I came at the right time!"

Seeing the food and wine on the coffee table in the living room, Min Zaicheng smiled with some surprise, and then he took out some snacks and two bottles of rice wine from the bag he was carrying.

Seeing this, Father Lin also laughed: "How come you, a busy man, have time to ask me out for a drink today?"

"Oh no!" Min Zaicheng smiled and sat on the sofa, waving his hands and saying, "What are you busy with? I've been fired for a month."

"Fired?! Why?" Father Lin sat next to Min Zaicheng in shock.

"What else could it be? I met a badass."

"What's going on? You're a huge contributor to Coupang. If you hadn't insisted on building your own logistics, how could Coupang have grown so rapidly thanks to its lightning-fast delivery service? What idiot would fire you? Are the board of directors crazy?"

Hearing Lin's father mention his achievements at Coupang, Min Zaicheng's face showed a trace of anger. He explained, "Three months ago, President Liu retired and was replaced by a new president, a woman. She immediately said that the economic outlook was not good and that we needed to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The first cut was made in logistics, and the front-line employees were laid off by 5%. That's not all. The salaries of the remaining employees were also reduced by an average of 10%.

If that were all, I wouldn't have left Coupang. The problem is, they're going to cut salaries for frontline employees twice within a year!
What's the point? Are we going to let people live? You know, frontline logistics workers do the dirtiest and most tiring work, yet they don't get the highest salaries!

Fine! You said the economic outlook is not good, but for the sake of cost savings and the company's development, I accept it!

But you know what they're going to do next? They're going to raise salaries for office workers and add gyms and yoga studios. Why aren't they talking about cost reduction and efficiency gains now?
Taking the hard-earned money of our frontline brothers and letting them enjoy it! Xiba! Is this what a human being would do? "

Min Zaicheng was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, almost wanting to jump up and curse! If this were his own home, he would definitely be banging his head on the table.

Seeing this, Father Lin quickly poured Min Zaicheng a glass of wine, patted his arm to calm him down, and then asked, "So you had a big fight with them and got fired?"

"Yeah!" Min Zaicheng nodded with a dark face, then took a sip of wine and laughed again: "Haha! That's good too. They didn't dare to give me less compensation. With this money, I can be considered to have achieved financial freedom."

As a friend of twenty or thirty years, how could Father Lin not see that Min Zaicheng was forcing a smile? So he sighed and said, "Alas! If you were really fine, you wouldn't ask me to drink with you."

Hearing this, Min Zaicheng immediately smiled bitterly and sighed, "Alas, I've been busy all my life, and now that I'm free, I feel quite bored. Sometimes I even feel so idle that I can't sit still."

"That's not right! You're already a big shot in the industry. No one recruited you after you left Coupang?"

Facing Lin's father's confusion, Min Zaicheng stuffed a piece of braised beef into his mouth and explained, "Of course there is, but I don't want to go. After working for so many years, I have seen clearly that no matter how good a worker is, he is just a worker. When the boss needs you, you are the boss, but when the boss thinks you are an eyesore, you are just a stinking dog shit!
I’m at this age now and don’t want to have to worry about other people’s faces anymore.”

"Then why don't you start your own business? With your connections and resources in the industry, starting a business shouldn't be difficult, right?"

This was said so easily that Min Zaicheng was speechless. He immediately asked back, "With your qualifications, it shouldn't be difficult for you to become the director, right?"

If this question had been asked yesterday, Father Lin would have blushed in embarrassment. But now, he immediately smiled brightly and nodded, saying, "It's really not difficult. I'll be officially promoted to director next week."

"..."

"Hahaha!"

Almost broke the defense!
Min Zaicheng smiled bitterly and raised his glass: "Congratulations on your promotion, senior. I toast to you!"

"Okay, okay, drink less. It's not good for your health."

Father Lin quickly held down Min Zaicheng's raised hand and tried to console him, "You're only forty-nine this year. You've only had a month's rest and you're already feeling restless. You still have at least another twenty or thirty years to go, right? Can you handle it?"

"Oh!" Min Zaicheng sighed helplessly, staring at the wine glass without saying a word.

After a while, he spoke hesitantly, "Actually, Chairman Li Zhengxian had someone contact me a few days ago. He said his third son, Li Zhixuan, wanted to set up a shopping platform and wanted me to help."

Lee Jung-hyun? Chairman of the Lee Group, Lee Jung-hyun!
Father Lin was shocked and said quickly, "Isn't this just accompanying the prince to study? You can't do this. If you do it well, it will be because his son is capable, but if you don't, it will be because you are incompetent. You have to think about it carefully."

"I think so too, but I'm a little hesitant to refuse."

Hearing this, Father Lin fell silent. He had no way of refutation, and if it were him, he probably wouldn't dare to refuse.

Min Zaicheng took a sip of his wine and continued, "But it's said that Li Zhixuan is quite capable. Xingji Entertainment was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he managed it for two months and it was revived. The currently popular movie 'Gonjiam' is his work."

"Li Zhixuan, Kunjiayan?"

Why does it sound familiar?
Father Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered: "Isn't Li Zhixuan the screenwriter of Kunjiam?"

"Yes. It's not just about his ability. He wrote his own scripts and invested his own money, and he managed to revive a company on the verge of bankruptcy.

So I think he should be capable, but I'm worried he won't respect people. I'm really fed up with these bastards who don't treat people as human beings!"

Min Zaicheng was still very angry, but Lin's father next to him didn't listen to him at all, but was in a daze.

As Min Zaicheng finished speaking, Lin's father stood up in an instant: "It's broken!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Min Jae-sung was startled. "Our Yoona is going to star in a TV series called 'Goblin Bride', and the screenwriter is also Li Zhixuan!"

Seeing Lin's father's worried look, Min Zaicheng understood instantly: "Are you worried that the Third Young Master Li is plotting something bad against Yuner?"

Father Lin stamped his feet anxiously: "I'm afraid it's not a conspiracy, but something bad has already happened."

"Uh……"

"No! I have to call Yoongi!"

At the same time, Lin Yuna and Li Zhixuan just got out of the car and walked into the community where the Lin family lived.

Walking into the residential complex, Lin Yuner took the initiative to hold Li Zhixuan's hand, and then asked with concern: "You seem a little absent-minded today, what's wrong? Which woman are you thinking about?"

Li Zhixuan turned his head, looking puzzled: "Can't I just think about a man?"

Lin Yuna was stunned, then angrily shook off the scumbag's hand.

He looked around again, then lowered his voice and said angrily, "Li Zhixuan! I tolerate your flirting with girls, but if you dare to stir up trouble, don't touch me again!"

"Who said I'm a troublemaker?" Li Zhixuan spread his hands and gave Lin Yuna an innocent look.

(=Д=)
"So...so you were disturbed?"

Yun Baoer was shocked. Is this how the second generation plays?

"Haha!" Seeing that the woman seemed to be serious, Li Zhixuan laughed heartily, then hugged her and explained, "I'm thinking of investing in a shopping platform and I need someone to help me. I've found someone, but I haven't figured out how to visit them yet."

That’s what happened!
Lin Yuna gave the scumbag a speechless look: "Don't breathe so hard when you talk next time!"

"Can you blame me? I'm such a scumbag, and you still doubt my sexual orientation. Is that appropriate?"

How dare you say that? Are you feeling wronged?

Lin Yuner said angrily: "Blame me? Look at those news, this island, that meeting, you so-called upper class people are capable of anything? Can you blame me for imagining things?"

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Lin Yuner in disbelief: "So sad, you actually compared me with those despicable people? I...goodbye!"

"Ok?"

Seeing the scumbag turned and walked away, Lin Yuner was a little surprised, then quickly chased after him and grabbed his hand: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?"

"Okay?"

This is too perfunctory! Li Zhixuan directly shook off Lin Yuner's hand and continued walking.

Seeing this, Lin Yuner quickly chased after him, hugged Li Zhixuan from behind, and then coaxed him coquettishly: "It's Yunbao's fault. I shouldn't have blamed Xuanbao. Master Xuanbao is magnanimous. Please forgive Yunbao this time, okay? Okay~"

Li Zhixuan didn't say anything, just turned around and looked at Lin Yuna.

"Boji!" "Okay?"

Lin Yoona seized the opportunity, went up and took a bite, then blinked her cute little doe eyes and acted coquettishly to the scumbag again.

After all this, what else can Li Zhixuan say? Just continue to send his girlfriend home.

The two walked hand in hand on the road, continuing the previous topic.

"Is the person you are looking for very powerful?"

"He's quite impressive, a big shot in the industry."

"So you want to poach people?"

"That's not the case. He just got fired. I'm asking him to come back."

"Laid? Fired? Why?"

"Because he doesn't align with the higher-ups' philosophy. Specifically, he's a normal person, but the higher-ups, a bunch of idiots, don't like him."

Hearing this, Lin Yuner smiled confidently: "Then this matter is simple? Give him enough money, give him enough power, and express your approval of his work philosophy. Then he will not come out of retirement."

"The problem is, I heard three companies have approached him, but he rejected them all. Don't those three companies think of what you're talking about?"

"Uh……"

After hearing what Li Zhixuan said, Lin Yuner also felt that she had thought the matter was too simple, and then she could only say helplessly: "I'm sorry, I can't help you, think about it slowly."

"Dingling bell~"

As she was speaking, Lin Yuna's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was her father calling. She immediately answered the call.

"Hey, Dad."

So sweet! Li Zhixuan almost couldn't help but exclaim "Eh".

"I'll be home soon." "Yeah, see you later."

Soon, Li Zhixuan sent Lin Yoona to the downstairs of her house. After a hug and kiss, Lin Yoona turned around and went upstairs.

After watching his girlfriend go upstairs, Li Zhixuan turned and left.

On the other side, after returning home, Yoona found that her father’s good friend was there too.

The most important thing is that in Lin Yuner's impression, this uncle is a big shot in the e-commerce industry. If he acts as a middleman, can he help her scumbag man get that big shot?

"Uncle Min, I heard that one of your colleagues, who was also a big boss, recently resigned because of a disagreement with the company's philosophy. Do you know him?"

Isn't this talking about me?

Min Zaicheng was stunned, then looked at Lin's father in confusion.

Father Lin understood immediately, then looked at his daughter and asked, "Yun'er, why are you asking this?"

"A friend of mine wants to ask that big guy to start a business together, but he doesn't know how to visit him, so I want to ask Uncle Min to help act as a middleman."

"Friend? What friend? Boyfriend?"

"Uh……"
